Harney under pressure to reinstate frontline services

FRESH pressure was heaped on Health Minister Mary Harney last night to guarantee the reinstatement of services for people with intellectual disabilities.

The Galway-based Hope 4 Disability group has been seeking to galvanise support in the face of extra budgetary cuts that have affected at least 300 service users in the west.

Yesterday the group said it wanted a clear commitment that there would be no further cuts to frontline services.
